Lyrics: Anon, probably the composer

Pourquoi donc ne fringuerons nous
entre nos jeunes dames?
Pourquoi donc ne fringuerons nous
en dépit de ces faux jaloux?
Ces faux par grand envie
m'ont mis dessus qu'ai fait jolie
d'avoir fringué sous les courtines,
fut au soir ou devant matines.
Mais quoi qu'en soit si danserons nous,
Moi et mon amie par amours?

So why shouldn't we touch up
with our young totty?
So why shouldn't we touch up
despite jealous knockers?
These well hard knockers
have put me off my stroke;
off touch-ups under the drapes,
at night or before "morning service (!)"
But so what if we caper and firk it,
Me and my sex buddy?
